What to do in Florence Italy

I only had one day in Florence, soooo, do I spend a long time waiting in line to tour a museum to see the statue of "David"? Or do I take a picture of the "David" statue outside the museum meant to entice me in?  I took the outside picture and went on my way to see other things.

Like what every tourist really wants!  Gelato!  And this shop had the tallest mounds of Gelato I had ever seen, and trust me, when I am in Italy, I try to be sure to sample as much gelato as I can.

Why yes, I did cut off his head. I wanted to see the architecture in the background, but now the only thing people notice is the headless statue.

You have to see  the Baptistry of St. John. The picture doesn't do the details and coloring of this structure justice.

 The famous bronze doors, you need to see those.

And the most important thing to do before leaving Florence is to rub the nose of "El Porcinello" at the straw market because if you rub it's nose, it means you will return to Florence. It's located at the edge of the old straw market. It's worked for me twice, we'll see if I get to go back again after this third time.
